Funny enough that I should just read this now. I was looking through SPI's 1st edition of DragonQuest a few minutes ago. During character generation, there are a couple of things you roll randomly for that define your PC. Your Aspect is rolled which gives you a modifier to any roll (almost all rolls in DQ are d%) during that phase of the moon, stars, or seasons; your parental status which effects your starting wealth; and your birth order (and legitimacy) which effects your starting XP (which are used at CharGen to buy skills and such.) I am not familiar with anything like this for 3rd edition, but it didn't really exist in older versions of D&D. (Although Hackmaster does use a system like this to define the character's background.)</p></blockquote><p></p>
